I think the biggest insult, the worst way you can offend a Mexican, is to insult their mother. A mother is the most sacred thing in life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
On my mom's side I'm Mexican, and my dad is a white dude.
I think mothers get a raw deal in American culture, so I've been defending them. I have three daughters, and I know that as they become mothers, they got a lot more gentle towards me!
Mexico is a very mom-centered culture. You'll find stores open on Father's Day, but never on Mother's Day. For us, mothers are very important.
Insult is powerful. Insult begets both rage and humor and often at the same time.
Well, I think when you come here and wave a Mexican flag in our face in a country that's giving a lot of these people an opportunity that they've never had before, I think a lot of Americans are insulted, whether they're first-, second-, third-, fourth- or fifth-generation Americans.
My dad is Mexican, and he grew up as a normal chauvinistic Mexican, and he expected my mom to do everything for him.
If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved.
No one is more sentimentalized in America than mothers on Mother's Day, but no one is more often blamed for the culture's bad people and behavior.
My preference is not to fight a Mexican.
I don't see how can I offend Mexicans with the truth. It is what Mexicans want to hear.
